Marokko is a dream destination, but for solo female travelers, it often comes with questions about Sicherheit and etiquette. Essaouira, with its "Windy City" charm and artistic vibe, is widely considered the safest and most welcoming city in the country for women traveling alone.

Der Atmosphere of Essaouira

Du can comfortably wander the Medina alleys, enjoy a coffee on the ramparts, and surf without feeling out of place.

Personal Recommendations
- Accommodation: Look for riads owned by locals or long-term expats for the best advice.
- Evening Walks: Der main squares (Place Moulay Hassan) are very safe and lively late into the night.
- Transport: Stick to the "Petit Taxis" (blue cars) which are metered and safe.
